Anywho, an upright citizen named Delta reminded me and everyone that Marvel and DC hold the trademark on the term "super hero". Now while I don't fear that they would come after me for a "free" project, nonetheless anarchist (yes I see the delicious irony in that) suggested calling it "Excelsior!" instead. I like that too.

So I just read far too much on the trademark of the term "Super Hero" and I have to say it sucks. A damn shame that such a simple and widespread term is not allowed to be used for promotion or advertising thanks to the legal system.

Now someone has suggested that the word "Excelsior" is trade-marked, but I can't find any evidence of that with my limited search abilities.

Let me know if you need any art for this. I will work for a piece of the pie when it comes out of the oven. I was a sponsor to the original 4C and would like to see similar efforts to keep this system going.

One of the ideas I had for this was to hold a patronage money drive after the rules are done to build up cash for art (Hell if we could get enough was gonna see if there was a way to get a George Perez commissioned cover ;) ).

Do you have a web gallery or something where I can see some of your work?
